Multipath Routing in Elastic Optical Networks with Space-Division Multiplexing
Pedro M. Moura, Nelson L. S. da Fonseca
Abstract
This article introduces four multipath routing, core, and spectrum assignment algorithms, all of which employ image processing techniques for fast identification of allocable slots, since this is less computationally complex and adequate for real-time operation. Numerical results show that multipath routing can decrease the probability of blocking by one order of magnitude in relation to its single-path counterpart, but produce acceptable differential delay values.
